Frequently asked questions
Electricity is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons moving through a conductor like a wire.
Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles. The two main types are static electricity (charge buildup) and current electricity, which includes direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).
Electricity is generated by converting energy sources—like coal, wind, water, or sunlight—into electrical energy using generators or photovoltaic cells.
Electricity works by moving electrons through a closed circuit, driven by a voltage difference. This flow powers devices by transferring energy to them.
DC (Direct Current) circuits are electrical circuits where current flows in one constant direction, typically powered by batteries or DC power supplies.
In a DC circuit, current flows in one direction only. In an AC circuit, current periodically reverses direction, as in household power systems.
The basic concept of DC is a steady, unidirectional flow of electric charge, often used in low-voltage applications like electronics and battery-powered devices.
A DC circuit has a constant current flow, while an RC circuit includes a resistor and capacitor, where current and voltage change over time due to charging and discharging of the capacitor.
